We truly believe the Dallas Festival of Ideas is an opportunity for barriers to come down, for emerging voices to bring fresh new perspectives to the city, for community groups and non-profits to find ways of working with each other towards a common goal and for the city to start shifting its thinking towards collective impact.

There are incredible IDEAS festivals in existence in other cities, but none that share this same formula and none that adopt innovative action committees once the festival ends in order to acton what is discussed.

Thank you for helping us pursue a brighter future for the place we call home.
